good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

The music is creative, the rapping is smooth and laid back. lyrics are artistic, songs are not radio style at all. the vocals are not good-sounding, very nasal, but it's got meaning rather than glitz. good kid is great. poetic justice is very good. swimming pools and now I get it

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

3/5

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

3/5

Funky hip hop from years back. I appreciate it, though I’m not a huge fan

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Classic late 1960's rock. Country tinge ontop of the distorted guitars, followed by folk-inspired acoustic.

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

5/5

awesome alt folk rock. harmonies and guitar blend well. great album.

Clandestino

Manu Chao

4/5

What a cool sound! For me, this is a new mix of hiphop and what feels like Cuban or South American guitars and beats.

Ananda Shankar

3/5

fun reimagining of popular songs with sitar taking on the vocal role.

The White Room

The KLF

3/5

Very popular electronic dance music. Not my cup of tea, but I appreciate its role and influence.

C'est Chic

CHIC

3/5

Funk and disco together, with a fantastic bass throughout. Disco has a bad name, though each instrument in these songs when taken alone is really impressive.

The Clash

4/5

punk I grew with.

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

3/5

50’s rock and roll mixed with late 70’s feel.

Reggatta De Blanc

The Police

5/5

Echos and effects, reggae mixed with post-punk and some pop. 80’s style hybrid with great drumming, singing, and guitar work. Excellent rhythm parts, fun bounce. Numerous songs also on their greatest hits completion Every Breath You Take: The Singles a few years later.

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim

Frank Sinatra

4/5

simple velvet vocal performance onto of space music to let the singing be the focus.

Movies

Holger Czukay

3/5

Eclectic...something I had never heard of before. Purposefully weird and creative for the sake of being creative; I liked it more than I expected to for that creativity. That said, I wouldn't share it or listen to it for enjoyment. It feels like a running SNL gag making fun of this sort music, but it's actually better than that description. Go in expecting silliness.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

5/5

Love this album. awesome bass, great catchy songs, heart wrenching vocals. multiple top songs showing why Bowie was such a star.

Amnesiac

Radiohead

5/5

A masterpiece with electronic and rock themes, which is amazingly made up of what almost counts as the B-sides from Kid-A. Recorded during the same sessions, these songs didn't have the same radio play as prior albums, which hurt the album's popularity. But the creativity and musicianship is top-notch. Radiohead choosing to branch out from 90's alt-rock and experimenting like there do here is why they rank as a top band of all time.

White Denim

4/5

Fun pops psychedelic rock. Some interesting influences from a few genres. Great guitar work, light vocals and skilled drumming.

Connected

Stereo MC's

4/5

Fun pops psychedelic rock. Some interesting influences from a few genres. Great guitar work, light vocals and skilled drumming.

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels

Dexys Midnight Runners

4/5

Great album id never heard before. Soul pop punk? I like it

Brothers

The Black Keys

5/5

great, simple funky rock. catchy beats and fun vocal performance. one of may favorites.

Iron Maiden

3/5

classic earlier metal, with vocals that are almost half punk in style. great musicianship, though I'm not a huge Iron Maiden fan due to the clash between the guitar style and the vocals.

World Clique

Deee-Lite

3/5

funky insanity.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen

5/5

Ethereal poppy and fun. Great album I never knew existed. Will go into my collection for sure.

Buena Vista Social Club

5/5

An utter classic cuban music album. Style and soul, beautiful and chill. My Dad's favorite album of the 1990's, and I get why.

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

4/5

Pretty good alt rock album, with vocals that are possibly too pretty for the style at that time. Compared to acts like hole, the grunge is missing from what otherwise feels like grunge.

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

5/5

Stellar bluesy rock album. Epic in scope and near perfect

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Some excellent songs, but more country than I prefer. I was more of a Doors and Beatles fan. A very important album for rock and roll in any case.

Vento De Maio

Elis Regina

3/5

Jazzy bossa nova with a funk bass sometimes? What a unique style.

B-52's

The B-52's

4/5

Perfectly executed feeling. Wild 50’s rock with 80’s absurdity and great musicianship. I love it

Kick Out The Jams (Live)

MC5

4/5

Loud, distorted, pre-punk psychedelic rock. All about the noise. Way ahead of its time. That time is 5 seconds to decide your reason to be on the planet, to be part of the solution.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

4/5
